The Twilight Saga: New Moon Reviews

Entertaining for what it is and the alpha male werewolves end up being a lot more fun than the brooding, moody vampires.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10

The brooding and sulking is so palpable in "New Moon," the latest film in the Twilight series, that you could probably cut it with a knife. If the filmmakers thought that this would be enough to carry a film for over two hours, they were sadly mistaken.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Ostensible heroine Bella is such a weak, needy, pathetic co-dependent who stirs up so much sh*t for those she purportedly loves that it's hard to muster much rooting interest for her.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

So long as there are people, there will be love stories -- I hope they all feel as lush and lively as this one.

Full Review | Original Score: B

The net result is boredom unless you're already heavily invested in this series and bringing your own enthusiasm to the table.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly, new director Chris Weitz has decided to be generally faithful to his source material despite the problems it's going to give him through a narrative that could delicately be described as 'sprawling.'

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/10

The Twilight Saga's New Moon is not terrible, despite featuring some excruciatingly lazy storytelling, atrocious performances, listless direction and a core storyline that is both uninteresting and somewhat disturbing.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

...a marked improvement over its decidedly uneven predecessor...

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4

Robert Pattinson and his stomach cramps - I mean, aching unrequited love - are less oppressive, but the trade off is Taylor Lautner and his relentless shirtlessness.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Poorly structured, poorly paced, poorly executed CGI in places and characters that are unlikeable, despite the fact that we should be rooting for them. An inaccessible mess.

Full Review | Original Score: C-

For pity's sake, direct-to-video cheerleading competition films have more genuine intrigue than this.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.0/4.0

New Moon is only after the affectation of emotion, of swoon-worthy poses and faux-momentous aesthetics.

Full Review | Original Score: D

My main problem with the Twilight series so far is that Bella doesn't have much in the way of admirable qualities. What's her distinction? She pines a lot.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10

I did find this film to be a little better than "Twilight" because of the romantic triangle aspect. That, and other plot developments add some complexity and suspense, making the film a bit more interesting.

Full Review | Original Score: C

New Moon was fully satisfying for the fans. I just happen to not be a fan.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Superficial soup for the teenage soul.

Oh God...make it stop.
